Den of Iniquity
| 1 | Head back to Mersea and talk to the Queen. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Fast travel to the Shrine of the Spirit and sail toward the location. Dive down afterwards. |
| 3 | Enter the cave on the wall to access the Den of Iniquity. |
| 4 | Head to the first floor and proceed through the stairs on the right. With the Magic Key, you should be able to open this door right away. |
| 5 | On the next floor, there will be a short boss battle. Be sure to prepare before attempting it! |
| 6 | Defeat the three Shining Armours ahead. A good strategy here is to go all out with magic spells, as they’re more vulnerable to them than to physical attacks. |
| 7 | After defeating them, head northeast and flip the switch. |
| 8 | Go back to the first floor and proceed to the stairs on the east side this time. |
| 9 | Head northwest and go to the room opposite the first switch. You’ll find another one here and flip it. |
| 10 | Without leaving the floor, go south and face the three Osteonauts. Defeat them to proceed. |
| 11 | Use abilities like Undead Undoer to defeat them easily. Try not to drag out this battle, as each Osteonaut can deal heavy damage to your team. |
| 12 | Head to the room in the middle, where you’ll fight another set of Osteonauts. Apply the same strategy as above! |
Mariella's Lair
| 1 | Head back to the first floor, and you should be able to open the sealed door ahead. |
|---|---|
| 2 |
Proceed and defeat Mariella. Since she’s both airborne and undead, abilities like Undead Undoer and Flying Knee can help you deal heavy damage against her. Once defeated, you’ll get the Soul Sigil. Report back to Dirkandor to find out the location of the last sigil. |
Deserted Village
| 1 | Head to the Deserted Village, which you can reach by going west of Moonahan. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Enter the village and head west toward the hut. Proceed inside once you find it. |
| 3 | Head down the stairs and continue moving forward. |
| 4 | Defeat the Wild Hog, the Pillager, and the Surgical Spirit. Prioritize defeating the Surgical Spirit first, as it can put the party to sleep. Defeat the other enemies after it’s down. |
| 5 | Head back to Moonahan and proceed to the building near the entrance, east of the small pond at the top left. |
Thief's Hideout
| 1 | Use the Magic Key to open the gate ahead. Enter it to access the Thief's Hideout. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Defeat the Grimlins and the Sinister Minister up ahead. Focus on the Sinister Minister first, as it can revive the Grimlins if you defeat them. To avoid a long battle, prioritize taking down the Sinister Minister. |
| 3 | Take the Water Sigil afterwards and leave the hideout to go to the Faerie Palace. |
| 4 | Tell the Dream-Whisperer that you have all the sigils. You’ll receive a Spirit Bracer and two Phials of Sage’s Elixir as rewards. |
